Multifamily Program Description

Program Purpose and Strategy Overview

Historically, New Jersey Clean Energy Program (“NJCEP”) has provided energy efficiency

incentives to multifamily projects through a variety of Residential and Commercial and

Industrial (“C&I”) programs, with the choice of program being dependent on the size, utility

meter configuration, and construction details of the multifamily housing in question, as well as

on the energy efficiency opportunities present. While this approach has resulted in energy

efficiency improvements for many multifamily properties, the complex criteria required to

choose the “right” program often create some confusion for applicants, as a result there are

missed savings opportunities.

Therefore, a new Multifamily (“MF”) Program will be introduced to advance the following

objectives:

Simplify participation by consolidating the multiple energy efficiency programs offered

to multifamily properties into a single program, with a streamlined entry point and

multiple program paths.

Provide dedicated multifamily technical outreach and assistance.

Improve access for segments of MF housing that have been unable to participate because

current MF offerings have not been a good fit.

Streamline program administration.

Increase participation and maximize savings for incentive dollars spent.

Program Description

The Multifamily program will include multiple program paths based on the needs and scope of

each project. The multi-path approach will reward projects that take a more comprehensive

approach to achieving energy savings, but will also provide a simpler, prescriptive path to make

participation possible for projects that are not able or willing to make a larger commitment. The

program will strive to engage with prescriptive-level participants so that they see NJCEP as a

resource for future projects and to urge them to think of energy efficiency as an ongoing process

rather than a one-time project. Outreach Account Managers, in collaboration with the Program

Manager and their staff, will make sure that applicants understand each program path and help

determine which path is most appropriate for applicants’ respective project(s).

1) Path A: Single-measure Prescriptive: Single-measure prescriptive is the appropriate path

for properties looking to improve on one or a few energy end-use elements. This path

includes fixed value Rebates for popular energy efficiency measures, including Lighting,

HVAC, Water Heating, and Appliances.

of 41

2) Path B: Multi-measure Prescriptive and Custom Measures: The multi-measure

prescriptive and custom measures path is appropriate for properties planning beyond

basic improvements but cannot commit to a whole-building/comprehensive plan. This

path includes fixed value Rebates for bundled improvements at a single project site, as

well as Incentives for technologies that fall outside of the prescriptive Rebate list (e.g.

VRF systems, HVAC controls, etc.).

3) Path C: Whole-Building: The whole-building path maximizes energy savings and

incentives. Properties in this path will work with pre-approved contractors to complete a

comprehensive energy audit, or, in the case of new construction, a thorough review of

project plans, and ultimately install multiple energy efficiency measures aimed at

addressing whole building efficiency and meeting minimum scope of work requirements,

as defined in the program. Projects in this path may also seek to obtain applicable

certifications (e.g., ENERGY STAR). Additional conditions apply to projects in the

Whole-Building path:

a. Participants will be required to work with a pre-approved contractor.

b. Projects will be required to demonstrate that they can meet program requirements

by demonstrating savings projections through energy modeling, prior to project

installation/construction.

c. Savings, both projected and achieved, will be calculated on a whole-building

basis (total combined energy for units and common areas/systems), and incentives

will increase with higher savings projections.

d. Incentives will be paid on a per residential unit (e.g., per individual apartment)

basis so that the potential incentive is immediately transparent to the

owner/developer.

e. Projects participating in Path C (whole-building) may not simultaneously

participate in Path A or Path B (single/multi-measure). Path C is intended to

capture savings from all potential energy efficiency improvements.

4) Add-On: Optional Savings Verification: Projects going through Path C, will have the

option to garner additional incentives by verifying whole-building energy savings. For

existing buildings, this is accomplished by comparing weather-normalized utility bills

pre-retrofit to those for the first post-retrofit year, adjusted for any impacts such as

occupancy levels, to demonstrate actual project energy savings. For new construction,

this is accomplished by achieving ENERGY STAR Certification through EPA’s Portfolio

Manager Program. This allows the program to collect verified savings, as well as

demonstrate a project’s persistence of savings and/or excellence in building operations.

This additional incentive is only available for the first year of performance verification,

but the program does encourage customers to continue measuring building performance

each following year.

of 41

5) Bulk Appliance Recycling: The existing Energy Efficient Products’ Appliance Recycling

program will be expanded to include bulk recycling pick-up. Multifamily properties will

be able to schedule no-cost pickup and responsible recycling of old, inefficient

appliances. Eligible equipment includes: refrigerators, freezers, room air-conditioners,

packaged terminal air-conditioners, and dehumidifiers. Being able to pick up a large

volume of appliances at a single multifamily building location will offer the program cost

savings while expanding program benefits to the multifamily sector.

Additional components of the Multifamily Program include the following:

Building owners are responsible for complying with all federal, state and local applicable

laws and regulations and for assuring occupant health and safety. For low-rise buildings,

new construction, and any buildings participating under federal programs, specific health

and safety requirements―such as mechanical ventilation― may continue to be required.

EPA and DOE Federal Program recognition (for Path C):

o New construction buildings participating in the multifamily program that achieve

applicable program certification (i.e. ENERGY STAR, ZERH, MFHR) will

continue to follow steps to meet the EPA or DOE requirements and standards to

meet the proper certificate/label.

o Existing low-rise building projects meeting all Home Performance with ENERGY

STAR requirements will be counted towards national DOE’s HPwES

participation levels and their contractors will be eligible for consideration for

EPA’s Century Awards.

We will continue to analyze and consider the possibility of adding a program component that

would consist of subsidized financing for the participant’s share of the cost of the measures

eligible for this program.

Target Market

Multifamily buildings will be defined as having five (5) or more independent resident housing units

1 and a single owner or management entity (e.g., building owner, developer,

management company, homeowners’ association).

o Applicants will be the single owner or management entity. Individual residents of multifamily buildings will be ineligible for the Multifamily Program but will be

directed instead to applicable Residential Programs.

o Residential buildings of one to four dwelling units, and townhomes designed as single-family homes will be ineligible for the Multifamily Program and will be

directed to applicable Residential Programs.

Certain types of multifamily housing, such as shelters, dormitories, independent living

facilities, and other similar housing types that more resemble single-room occupancy

.

of 41

(SRO) rather than multiple “dwelling units”2 are also eligible, but with reduced

incentives that are scaled to the considerably smaller living area typical of these SRO-

type housing as compared to that of conventional apartments.

Energy efficiency measures will be considered both in-unit and within associated

common areas, regardless of whether there are residential and/or commercial utility

accounts, so long as existing or future (for new construction) utility accounts contribute

to the Societal Benefits Charge (SBC).

Multifamily properties will no longer be eligible for incentives under Residential or

Commercial programs but will instead participate in equivalent program paths within the

Multifamily Program. There will be an appropriate, probably approximately three- to six-

month, transition period between the old programs and the new Multifamily Program.

o Exceptions: Multifamily projects interested in combined heat and power (CHP),

renewable energy storage, SRECs, or other renewable energy initiatives will still

be eligible for these programs. These technologies will not be integrated into the

Multifamily Program at this time. Additionally, public housing meeting eligibility

of the Local Government Energy Audit program (LGEA) will continue to be

eligible for no-cost energy audits through that program.

Program Offerings and Incentives

The new Multifamily Program will include several program paths and associated incentive

levels. Incentives will include fixed, per unit of equipment rebate amounts (Rebates) for

Prescriptive technologies, as well as savings-based Incentives, such as $/kWh, $/MMBtu, or

$/therm, for custom technologies, and $/multifamily unit (apartment unit) incentives for whole-

building improvements. Fixed, per equipment unit rebate amounts for measures being installed

at the building level will follow the existing incentive structure for C&I new construction and

retrofit programs as outlined in the FY 19 Compliance Filing and reproduced here as

“BUILDING LEVEL MEASURES”. Fixed, per equipment unit rebate amounts for measures

being installed at the dwelling unit level will follow the existing incentive structure offered as

part of WARMAdvantage and COOLAdvantage and/or appliances and consumer electronics as

outlined in the FY 19 Compliance Filing and reproduced here as DWELLING UNIT LEVEL

MEASURES. See attachment for a detailed Incentive Structure.

BUILDING LEVEL MEASURES include equipment that serve common space and multiple

independent dwelling units (2 or more) and includes such measures as chillers, boilers, and

exterior pole mounted lighting. DWELLING UNIT LEVEL MEASURES include equipment

that is installed to serve only an individual dwelling unit, such as all the equipment listed as part

of the WARM/COOLAdvantage.

2 2015 NJ International Building Code definition: “Dwelling unit" a single unit providing complete, independent

living facilities for one or more persons living as a single housekeeping unit, including permanent provisions for

living, sleeping, eating, cooking, and sanitation.

of 41

Program Delivery

The program will be delivered by an integrated team of NJCEP program management staff,

outreach staff, and trade allies with the goal of providing the multifamily market with a

streamlined, single point of entry into the program:

NJCEP Outreach Account Managers will work to build relationships with stakeholders

within the multifamily market through proactive engagement with large multifamily

owners and management organizations, contractors working within the multifamily

market, as well as applicable associations and membership organizations. Particular

attention will be paid to affordable-rate housing, including working with NJ Housing and

Mortgage Finance Agency and the utility managed Comfort Partners low-income

program, to facilitate and promote participation. Trained outreach staff will identify

potential participants for this program, as well as offer high-level walk-through

assessments to get a sense of the potential scale of the savings opportunity, provide the

owner with an understanding of the potential benefits and costs to participate, and help

identify the program path most-suited to the owner’s level of interest. Outreach staff will

assist participants with applying for a program path (see further below), connecting them

with contractors from the trade ally network, as well as facilitating introductions to

program management staff where additional support is needed.

Program Management staff will manage projects from application receipt through close

out. They will work with participants and their designated contractors to ensure program

compliance and successful receipt of incentives.

The program will utilize a trade ally network of pre-approved energy services companies,

contractors, raters, and builders to deliver energy efficiency improvements to the

multifamily sector. These companies will be able to provide more in-depth energy

analysis, including ASHRAE Level II audits, and facilitate customer program

participation. Companies from the existing lists of Home Performance with ENERGY

STAR contractors, Residential New Construction raters and builders, and Pay for

Performance partners will have an opportunity to qualify for this trade ally network, as

well as new companies that meet the necessary qualifications.

Program offerings and incentives may be subject to change pending the results of the ongoing

Multifamily Baseline Study.

Table 3:Chiller Incentives

Electric Chillers: FY19 Electric Chiller Efficiency and Incentive Structure

Note A - The manufacturer’s published chiller efficiency must be determined using the Air-Conditioning, Heating and

Refrigeration Institute (AHRI) 550/590 test procedures and at the AHRI standard evaporator and condenser

temperatures. If an applicant has a water cooled centrifugal chiller that is designed to operate at other than the AHRI

standard conditions the procedure in Standard 90.1-2013, Section 6.4.1.2.1 may be used by the applicant to adjust the

manufacturer’s published efficiency at non-AHRI conditions to the efficiency at AHRI standard conditions. The

applicant will need to provide the manufacturer’s non-AHRI ratings as well as the calculations for the chiller efficiency

at AHRI conditions.

Constant speed chillers will have to meet or exceed IPLV efficiency to qualify for the incentive program while the

incentive will be based on the chillers performance relative to the full load efficiency. Conversely, variable speed

chillers will have to meet or exceed the full load efficiency to qualify for the incentive program while the incentive will

be based on the chillers performance relative to the IPLV efficiency.

Electrically operated comfort cooling air-cooled and water-cooled chillers are eligible for incentives under the

prescriptive path. Chillers for process cooling (e.g. manufacturing, data center, food storage or processing, et cetera)

loads may apply for an incentive under the custom path.

Section A-2: Path B – Multi-Measure and Custom Measure Incentives


Path B is targeted for participants interested in multiple measure upgrades but for one reason or

another cannot commit to Path C (Whole Building/Comprehensive). Multi-measure incentives

may not be applied for if a project is enrolled or intends to enroll in Path C

(Comprehensive/Whole Building see Section A-3).

Properties can apply for multiple-measures at a single property, or multiple properties. Program

can accommodate progress payments as sites are completed.

Custom Measure technologies require pre-approval prior to installation. Remaining equipment

(designated as Prescriptive in Section A-1) may apply for rebates within 12 months of equipment

purchase. Pre-approval of applications is available for customers seeking confirmation that their

equipment is compliant with program requirements prior to equipment purchase and installation.

Incentives are available for equipment installed in-units and common areas, as well as outdoor

lighting so long as the lighting is on a customer meter and customer is contributing to Societal

Benefits charge through their utility bill(s).

All equipment must be new and permanently installed (i.e. will not be removed by tenant).



they purchased can apply for programs under the Residential program portfolio.

Incentives are available for both existing buildings and new construction, except where explicitly

stated otherwise. In general, equipment in new construction projects must exceed IECC

2015/ASHRAE 90.1-2013 to qualify for incentives.



All equipment-specific rules outlined in Section A-1 apply.



Custom Measure Requirements:

For measures not covered by the above prescriptive incentive tables, a project may be eligible for

a custom measure incentive (e.g. envelope upgrades such as insulation, air-sealing, window

replacement, etc.; advanced lighting controls; variable refrigerant flow HVAC; HVAC controls).

Custom Measure applications require energy savings calculations and must be pre-approved by

Program Manager prior to installation.

For retrofit projects, the energy baseline will be determined by existing condition. Proposed

project must at least meet or exceed code. For new construction, the energy baseline will be

determined by code and project must exceed code.

Section A-3: Path C - Comprehensive, Whole-Building Incentives


Path A (Single Measure) and Path B (Custom and Multi-Measure) incentives may not be applied

for if project is enrolled or intends to enroll in Path C (Comprehensive/Whole-Building).

Equipment installed to serve dwelling units, single-room occupancy (SRO) units and common

areas can contribute to energy savings target, as well as outdoor lighting so long as the lighting is

on a customer meter and customer is contributing to Societal Benefits charge through their utility

bill(s).

Incentives below are based on code definition of Dwelling Unit, which is a single unit providing

complete, independent living facilities for one or more persons living as a single housekeeping

unit, including permanent provisions for living, sleeping, eating, cooking, and sanitation.

Multifamily housing resembling single-room occupancy (SRO) is still eligible to participate but

at a reduced rate based on average SRO unit square footage (e.g. 300 sqft) compared to a

dwelling unit, which is assumed to be 1,000 sqft. (e.g. 300 ÷ 1000 = 0.30 or 30%, therefore

incentive per unit will be reduced by 70%).

Scope of work must be comprehensive (i.e. more than one measure) and (a) assesses the cost-

effectiveness of installing energy conservation measures in each of the following areas: (i)

heating systems, (ii) cooling systems, (iii) ventilation systems, (iv) domestic hot water systems,

(v) building envelopes, and (vi) lighting and (b) implements all cost-effective energy

conservation measures identified through the foregoing assessment or, as to any such measures

not implemented, explains why such implementation would not be practicable.



they purchased can apply for programs under the Residential program portfolio.

Customers must work with pre-approved Program consultants/contractors to submit projects

through this path.

All equipment must be new and permanently installed (i.e. will not be removed by tenants).





of 41

Existing Buildings:

Projects require pre-approval prior to installation. Installation may occur earlier at applicant’s

own risk so long as a successful pre-installation inspection is completed by the Program Manager.

All proposed equipment must meet or exceed minimum efficiencies outlined in Section A-1. For

equipment not listed there minimum efficiencies must meet or exceed ASHRAE 90.1-2013 for

multifamily buildings over 3 stories high, and IECC 2015 for low rise multifamily buildings.

Equipment not regulated by these codes must be more efficient than industry standard.

Requirements may be waived or modified by Program Manager on a case by case basis due to

limited market availability of equipment.

Multifamily properties that are three (3) stories or less that wish to comply with Home

Performance with ENERGY STAR® may do so by meeting additional inspection and Health and

Safety requirements. Utility data must be available at the unit or building level.

Multifamily Program Description

Program Purpose and Strategy Overview

Historically, New Jersey Clean Energy Program (“NJCEP”) has provided energy efficiency

incentives to multifamily projects through a variety of Residential and Commercial and

Industrial (“C&I”) programs, with the choice of program being dependent on the size, utility

meter configuration, and construction details of the multifamily housing in question, as well as

on the energy efficiency opportunities present. While this approach has resulted in energy

efficiency improvements for many multifamily properties, the complex criteria required to

choose the “right” program often create some confusion for applicants, as a result there are

missed savings opportunities.

Therefore, a new Multifamily (“MF”) Program will be introduced to advance the following

objectives:

Simplify participation by consolidating the multiple energy efficiency programs offered

to multifamily properties into a single program, with a streamlined entry point and

multiple program paths.

Provide dedicated multifamily technical outreach and assistance.

Improve access for segments of MF housing that have been unable to participate because

current MF offerings have not been a good fit.

Streamline program administration.

Increase participation and maximize savings for incentive dollars spent.

Program Description

The Multifamily program will include multiple program paths based on the needs and scope of

each project. The multi-path approach will reward projects that take a more comprehensive

approach to achieving energy savings, but will also provide a simpler, prescriptive path to make

participation possible for projects that are not able or willing to make a larger commitment. The

program will strive to engage with prescriptive-level participants so that they see NJCEP as a

resource for future projects and to urge them to think of energy efficiency as an ongoing process

rather than a one-time project. Outreach Account Managers, in collaboration with the Program

Manager and their staff, will make sure that applicants understand each program path and help

determine which path is most appropriate for applicants’ respective project(s).

1) Path A: Single-measure Prescriptive: Single-measure prescriptive is the appropriate path

for properties looking to improve on one or a few energy end-use elements. This path

includes fixed value Rebates for popular energy efficiency measures, including Lighting,

HVAC, Water Heating, and Appliances.

2) Path B: Multi-measure Prescriptive and Custom Measures: The multi-measure

prescriptive and custom measures path is appropriate for properties planning beyond

basic improvements but cannot commit to a whole-building/comprehensive plan. This

path includes fixed value Rebates for bundled improvements at a single project site, as

well as Incentives for technologies that fall outside of the prescriptive Rebate list (e.g.

VRF systems, HVAC controls, etc.).

3) Path C: Whole-Building: The whole-building path maximizes energy savings and

incentives. Properties in this path will work with pre-approved contractors to complete a

comprehensive energy audit, or, in the case of new construction, a thorough review of

project plans, and ultimately install multiple energy efficiency measures aimed at

addressing whole building efficiency and meeting minimum scope of work requirements,

as defined in the program. Projects in this path may also seek to obtain applicable

certifications (e.g., ENERGY STAR). Additional conditions apply to projects in the

Whole-Building path:

a. Participants will be required to work with a pre-approved contractor.

b. Projects will be required to demonstrate that they can meet program requirements

by demonstrating savings projections through energy modeling, prior to project

installation/construction.

c. Savings, both projected and achieved, will be calculated on a whole-building

basis (total combined energy for units and common areas/systems), and incentives

will increase with higher savings projections.

d. Incentives will be paid on a per residential unit (e.g., per individual apartment)

basis so that the potential incentive is immediately transparent to the

owner/developer.

e. Projects participating in Path C (whole-building) may not simultaneously

participate in Path A or Path B (single/multi-measure). Path C is intended to

capture savings from all potential energy efficiency improvements.

4) Add-On: Optional Savings Verification: Projects going through Path C, will have the

option to garner additional incentives by verifying whole-building energy savings. For

existing buildings, this is accomplished by comparing weather-normalized utility bills

pre-retrofit to those for the first post-retrofit year, adjusted for any impacts such as

occupancy levels, to demonstrate actual project energy savings. For new construction,

this is accomplished by achieving ENERGY STAR Certification through EPA’s Portfolio

Manager Program. This allows the program to collect verified savings, as well as

demonstrate a project’s persistence of savings and/or excellence in building operations.

This additional incentive is only available for the first year of performance verification,

but the program does encourage customers to continue measuring building performance

each following year.

5) Bulk Appliance Recycling: The existing Energy Efficient Products’ Appliance Recycling

program will be expanded to include bulk recycling pick-up. Multifamily properties will

be able to schedule no-cost pickup and responsible recycling of old, inefficient

appliances. Eligible equipment includes: refrigerators, freezers, room air-conditioners,

packaged terminal air-conditioners, and dehumidifiers. Being able to pick up a large

volume of appliances at a single multifamily building location will offer the program cost

savings while expanding program benefits to the multifamily sector.

Additional components of the Multifamily Program include the following:

Building owners are responsible for complying with all federal, state and local applicable

laws and regulations and for assuring occupant health and safety. For low-rise buildings,

new construction, and any buildings participating under federal programs, specific health

and safety requirements―such as mechanical ventilation― may continue to be required.

EPA and DOE Federal Program recognition (for Path C):

o New construction buildings participating in the multifamily program that achieve

applicable program certification (i.e. ENERGY STAR, ZERH, MFHR) will

continue to follow steps to meet the EPA or DOE requirements and standards to

meet the proper certificate/label.

o Existing low-rise building projects meeting all Home Performance with ENERGY

STAR requirements will be counted towards national DOE’s HPwES

participation levels and their contractors will be eligible for consideration for

EPA’s Century Awards.

We will continue to analyze and consider the possibility of adding a program component that

would consist of subsidized financing for the participant’s share of the cost of the measures

eligible for this program.

Target Market

Multifamily buildings will be defined as having five (5) or more independent resident housing units

1 and a single owner or management entity (e.g., building owner, developer,

management company, homeowners’ association).

o Applicants will be the single owner or management entity. Individual residents of multifamily buildings will be ineligible for the Multifamily Program but will be

directed instead to applicable Residential Programs.

o Residential buildings of one to four dwelling units, and townhomes designed as single-family homes will be ineligible for the Multifamily Program and will be

directed to applicable Residential Programs.

Certain types of multifamily housing, such as shelters, dormitories, independent living

facilities, and other similar housing types that more resemble single-room occupancy

.

(SRO) rather than multiple “dwelling units”2 are also eligible, but with reduced

incentives that are scaled to the considerably smaller living area typical of these SRO-

type housing as compared to that of conventional apartments.

Energy efficiency measures will be considered both in-unit and within associated

common areas, regardless of whether there are residential and/or commercial utility

accounts, so long as existing or future (for new construction) utility accounts contribute

to the Societal Benefits Charge (SBC).

Multifamily properties will no longer be eligible for incentives under Residential or

Commercial programs but will instead participate in equivalent program paths within the

Multifamily Program. There will be an appropriate, probably approximately three- to six-

month, transition period between the old programs and the new Multifamily Program.

o Exceptions: Multifamily projects interested in combined heat and power (CHP),

renewable energy storage, SRECs, or other renewable energy initiatives will still

be eligible for these programs. These technologies will not be integrated into the

Multifamily Program at this time. Additionally, public housing meeting eligibility

of the Local Government Energy Audit program (LGEA) will continue to be

eligible for no-cost energy audits through that program.

Program Offerings and Incentives

The new Multifamily Program will include several program paths and associated incentive

levels. Incentives will include fixed, per unit of equipment rebate amounts (Rebates) for

Prescriptive technologies, as well as savings-based Incentives, such as $/kWh, $/MMBtu, or

$/therm, for custom technologies, and $/multifamily unit (apartment unit) incentives for whole-

building improvements. Fixed, per equipment unit rebate amounts for measures being installed

at the building level will follow the existing incentive structure for C&I new construction and

retrofit programs as outlined in the FY 19 Compliance Filing and reproduced here as

“BUILDING LEVEL MEASURES”. Fixed, per equipment unit rebate amounts for measures

being installed at the dwelling unit level will follow the existing incentive structure offered as

part of WARMAdvantage and COOLAdvantage and/or appliances and consumer electronics as

outlined in the FY 19 Compliance Filing and reproduced here as DWELLING UNIT LEVEL

MEASURES. See attachment for a detailed Incentive Structure.

BUILDING LEVEL MEASURES include equipment that serve common space and multiple

independent dwelling units (2 or more) and includes such measures as chillers, boilers, and

exterior pole mounted lighting. DWELLING UNIT LEVEL MEASURES include equipment

that is installed to serve only an individual dwelling unit, such as all the equipment listed as part

of the WARM/COOLAdvantage.

2 2015 NJ International Building Code definition: “Dwelling unit" a single unit providing complete, independent

living facilities for one or more persons living as a single housekeeping unit, including permanent provisions for

living, sleeping, eating, cooking, and sanitation.

Program Delivery

The program will be delivered by an integrated team of NJCEP program management staff,

outreach staff, and trade allies with the goal of providing the multifamily market with a

streamlined, single point of entry into the program:

NJCEP Outreach Account Managers will work to build relationships with stakeholders

within the multifamily market through proactive engagement with large multifamily

owners and management organizations, contractors working within the multifamily

market, as well as applicable associations and membership organizations. Particular

attention will be paid to affordable-rate housing, including working with NJ Housing and

Mortgage Finance Agency and the utility managed Comfort Partners low-income

program, to facilitate and promote participation. Tra
